The Susan P. Byrnes Health Education Center in York partnered with WITF to organize "Ready, set ... Explore," and the goal was to encourage young children and their families to enjoy science exploration. Saturday's activities included information on how the heart works and how to keep it healthy.

'It's a fun way to educate and inspire kids,' said Anne Bahn, president and CEO of the center.

"It's just a great time for us to connect with the community, to get the PBS characters to have those moments with kids that they'll remember for a really long time," said Debbie Riek, education coordinator at WITF, "and to put good information in the hands of families."
